Delhi blast: Suicide bomber identified, probe underway

India

A tragic suicide car bombing near Delhi's Red Fort on November 10 left at least 12 people dead and injured over 24.
The attacker, Dr. Umar un-Nabi—an assistant professor at Al Falah University and a doctor by profession—parked his Hyundai i20 near Sunehri Masjid for hours before setting off the explosion, which damaged cars and a police post nearby.

What's happening now

Authorities have called this a terrorist attack linked to a group with medically trained members.
The NIA and Delhi Police are leading the investigation, with extra support from central agencies.
Security has been ramped up around Red Fort and Chandni Chowk: more than 130 new CCTV cameras are in place, the parking lot is closed, and police presence has doubled.
Despite everything, markets like Jama Masjid and Meena Bazaar are back open under tight surveillance as officials urge everyone to stay alert.
